Pretty much the same thing they said in 1969, which is why I never got my Bachelors degree until 2009, much too late to make any impact on my career.

Jane Doe wants to be friends on Facebook -- is that a robot speaking?
by FatFreek 2005 inthis happens frequently.
yes, i'm a member but i don't socialize there mainly because i don't understand stuff like the above title.
did "jane doe" actually solicit my friendship or is facebook interpolating and extrapolating her current friends and my current friends and therefore makes a logical connection?.

If it says Jane Doe wants to be friends, that means she requested you. If it says someone suggested her, then someone else wants you to be friends with her.

According the WT, how many comings or returns of Christ are there?
by cyberguy inaccording the wt, how many comings or returns of christ are there?
and the follow-up question is: how many comings of christ are actually indicated in the scriptures?
(yes, we can debate for days, needlessly, concerning the 1914-calculus, but the truth is so much simpler than this!

There are none. He never actually returns to the earth. He merely turns his attention to the earth without leaving heaven.

Does anyone recognize this ex-JW testimony from WNFJ convention?
by peace_lily ini'm trying to find the testimony of a lady who spoke years ago at the witness now for jesus convention (i believe in pennsylvania).
she mentioned that her husband (i assume not a witness) came out as a homosexual during the years the org did not consider such to be grounds for divorce.
the elders advised her she didn't have grounds for divorce.

I don't know about this woman but my story is the same as hers except when The Committee asked my husband "was there something your wife would or wouldn't do that caused you to turn to men" was my personal evacuation.
Sounds like they were suggesting that it was your fault that your husband turned gay because you wouldn't do the things in bed that the Society said that married couples shouldn't do in bed?

I live one town away from Warwick, NY (I actually live in NJ), and the property the WTS is converting into the new world HQ (an old IBM office facility) is about a 20 minute ride from my house. The next few years should be interesting...

Maybe Paulo is just trying to illustrate what the dead know, according to the JW application of Ecclesiastes 9:5.

This will be my twelfth year attending, but I don't remember that particular testimony. Grace (Mouthy) was attending long before me, so maybe she will recall it. They do still have the conventions, but the word on the street is that this year may be the last. Joan Cetnar has been hosting the conventions for the past 33 years (with her husband Bill until his death), but she is saying that she does not think she will host another after this year. I haven't spoken with her directly, but my understanding is that she feels that with the Internet, there are plenty of sources for JW information out there now as well as other ways for ex-JWs to make contact, and conventions like this one are not as necessary as they once were. Because of this, attendance has been declining over the past several years. While I understand her point, I've found the personal contact and intimacy of these conventions to be far more meaningful than anything the Internet can offer. I have made some wonderful friends there, and I look forward to seeing them every year. The WNFJ convention has become as much a regular part of my life since leaving the JWs as is Christmas and other annual, family oriented events. I am hoping that someone is able to step in and continue the tradition; it will be a big disappointment to have this annual event disappear from my life.
If anyone is interested in attending this year, the convention will be held from Octiber 7-9 at Blue Mountain Christian Retreat (www.bmcr.org) in New Ringgold, PA.

Since You've Left The Organization Have You Turned Into A "Bad" Boy or Girl?
by minimus inthe witnesses say that if you leave the religion you will become a very vile person.
you will probably get vd.
you will get into drugs and booze, your life will go to hell.. personally, i've been pretty much the same guy although i would now be viewed as a "fornicator".

We did the movie theater and Chinese food thing with friends. In fact, we still do that now (in addition to other means of Christmas celebration that we now enjoy). Somehow it just feels right.
